Swiss Quartz Chronograph Performance
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm is powered by the ETA G10.211 quartz chronograph movement.
This Swiss calibre provides dependable everyday timekeeping while powering the watch’s multiple chronograph functions. Its layout includes dedicated timing counters alongside the standard hour and minute indications, small seconds and date display.
Quartz technology also makes this PRC 200 particularly practical for regular ownership. It does not require daily winding, and its precision makes the watch easy to pick up and wear whenever required.
For someone who wants genuine chronograph functionality without the additional maintenance and winding requirements associated with a mechanical chronograph, the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm offers an excellent balance.

Distinctive White Chronograph Dial
The white dial is one of the defining characteristics of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm.
Rather than using the darker colours commonly associated with sports chronographs, Tissot gives this reference a bright and sophisticated appearance.
The dial combines index hour markers with Arabic numerals at selected positions, while luminous hands and markers help improve readability in reduced lighting conditions. Three subdials organise the chronograph information, and a date display is positioned around 4 o’clock.
A tachymeter scale around the outer section of the dial adds another performance-inspired element and reinforces the technical personality of the PRC 200.
The result is a chronograph that feels distinctly sporting while remaining clean enough for everyday wear.
42mm Stainless-Steel Case
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm uses a round stainless-steel case measuring exactly 42mm in diameter.
This gives the watch greater presence than the previous generation of smaller PRC 200 chronographs while remaining within a versatile contemporary size.
The documented case thickness is approximately 12.02mm, while the lug width measures 19mm.
These proportions create a substantial sports-watch profile without pushing the watch into oversized territory.
A solid closed caseback completes the robust construction.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the white chronograph dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire offers excellent resistance to everyday scratching and is one of the most desirable crystal materials used in Swiss watchmaking.
For a sports-oriented watch intended for regular use, this provides an important practical advantage.
The sapphire crystal complements the stainless-steel case and substantial water resistance, reinforcing the durable character of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm.
200m Water Resistance
One of the strongest specifications of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm is its impressive 20 bar / 200 metre / 660 feet water resistance.
This level of protection goes considerably beyond the water resistance typically offered by conventional dress chronographs.
The watch also features a screw-down crown, further supporting the robust construction required for its substantial depth rating.
This combination gives the PRC 200 genuine sports-watch credentials while retaining the refined appearance created by its white dial and leather strap.
White Leather Strap
Unlike the stainless-steel bracelet variants of the PRC 200, reference T055.417.16.017.00 is fitted with a white leather strap.
This is an important characteristic of this exact reference.
The white strap complements the dial and creates a distinctive monochromatic appearance, separating the model visually from the more conventional steel-bracelet PRC 200 versions.
The combination gives the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm a sportier and more contemporary personality while preserving the premium feel associated with leather.
PRC 200 Sporting Heritage
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm belongs to the PRC 200 family, a collection built around the combination of Swiss precision, versatile styling and strong water resistance.
This reference expresses that philosophy particularly well.
Its ETA quartz chronograph movement provides precision, the stainless-steel case and sapphire crystal deliver durability, while the 200-metre water resistance gives the watch genuine performance credentials.

Chronograph Functionality
Chronograph capability plays a central role in the character of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm.
The ETA G10.211 movement powers three timing counters, including 60-second, 30-minute and 1/10-second indications according to detailed reference specifications.
Combined with the tachymeter scale, this gives the dial a genuine instrument-inspired appearance.
The chronograph is therefore not simply an aesthetic element. It adds practical elapsed-time measurement while reinforcing the sporting identity of the PRC 200.
A Versatile Swiss Sports Chronograph
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm offers an appealing alternative to the darker steel sports watches that dominate the category.
Its white dial and matching leather strap create a brighter, more distinctive appearance, while its technical specifications remain seriously capable.
The ETA G10.211 Swiss quartz movement provides precision and convenience. Sapphire crystal offers excellent scratch resistance. The stainless-steel case delivers durability, while the impressive 200m water resistance adds genuine everyday versatility.
At 42mm, the watch also provides enough wrist presence to showcase its chronograph dial without becoming excessively large.
Swiss Precision with Distinctive Style
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm brings together the key qualities expected from a versatile Swiss sports chronograph.
Its precise ETA quartz movement, chronograph functionality, sapphire crystal, stainless-steel construction and 200-metre water resistance create a technically capable foundation.
What makes reference T055.417.16.017.00 particularly distinctive is its aesthetic execution.
The white dial and matching white leather strap give the watch a character of its own, while the 42mm stainless-steel case maintains the strong sporting identity associated with the PRC 200 family.
For someone searching for a Swiss Made chronograph that combines precision, durability and exceptional everyday versatility, the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm is a compelling choice.
